4. Geothermometric Studies of Olivine Basalts

Olivine - containing samples were collected from Crater and Observation Hills, and from the cinder cones in the Lake Bonney areas of the Taylor Dry Valley.

Mössbauer spectroscopy will be used to determine the cation distribution and hence the cooling history of these olivines.
